Council praises Booster Days volunteers; reminds residents about Night to Unite and senior events
Summary
Councilmembers commended volunteers and staff after Booster Days, asked for more parade volunteers next year, and reminded residents of Night to Unite participation and senior activities.
Several councilmembers used the July 28 meeting to commend volunteers, city staff and community organizers for a successful Booster Days celebration and to promote upcoming Night to Unite events.
Resident Brian Bezanson told the council he had attended Booster Days and praised city staff, singling out Carrie Frost for assisting at multiple events throughout the day. Multiple councilmembers echoed thanks to volunteers and named Paula Gertz for organizing the parade after volunteers were scarce the previous year. Councilmembers asked for additional volunteers to help expand next year’s parade.
Council members also reminded residents that Night to Unite events were scheduled around the city and encouraged council participation; staff said they would list locations and indicated fire and sheriff vehicles might circulate neighborhoods. The council announced a senior center potluck (11 a.m.–1 p.m. at Booster West) and other senior events and requested staff circulate details by email.
Why it matters: the remarks highlight community engagement and volunteer dependence for civic events; council members emphasized volunteering as a way to support and expand local celebrations.
No formal council action was required.
